Unfortunately, you got it backwards: it's no measurable change for "make all",
a 7% slow down for "make dist", and a 50% slow down for "make distdir -n" :-(
The plus is that "make dist -n" is now more "faithful", since it displays the
actual list of files that get distributed and of sudirectories that get
created in the distribution directory.

As a development user, I don't care if "make distdir -n" is slower since without the -n any such slowness is likely not noticeable since the rest of the task is really slow and not done very often. More faithful is important.

Optimizing 'make all' and 'make check' should be the priorities when it comes to performance.
